[STB] Fleet Defiant Quantum Phase Escort

Build Description

Building off of Ben Sisko's Mutha Fu(kin' Pimp Hand, I added the Quad Cannons and Quantum Phase set.

*DISCLAIMER: If you're looking for a copy-paste build, which I do not encourage, your mileage may vary. This is the build that delivered the goods for myself, and I offer it to the community as an ideas template. Take the knowledge that was acquired from it, and use your wisdom to make YOUR build better.

I chose the Defiant class just because I love this ship (and it's all I had when I returned)

I have yet to sit down and do mine up.. with the MI and upgrade weekend it's all I have had time for.

Hopefully soon I can throw mine up but I was thinking of a more different build for mine the more I think about it.. just haven't had the time to apply and test it.

My goal is to keep it true, or what I think is true, to what I saw the Defiant do on DS9. I may try some sort of torp/cannon/beam hybrid build but I'm unsure which to make the dominant.. im leaning towards cannon like I have running now but ensuring I use only CRF with everything else being AoE/spam...

My goal is to still be able to time it so that I still flly thru WCB's haha!

You can swap the QPhase & Neutronic Fore/Aft depending on if you're hitting more unshielded structures (Neutronic) vs all shielded targets/'support' shield stripper (QPhase). That would then influence your console choice as well.

We're a subreddit that discusses builds and mechanics for Star Trek Online ground and space content.

Reading the entire sidebar is required before posting.

Effort is paramount here in communicating your builds and ideas. "Quick questions", "Give me a build for x" topics and other short format posts are welcome - but belong specifically in STObuilds' weekly Megathread.

Non-build discussion posts are welcome but must involve significant effort.

Build posts are only effective when clearly communicated. While other formats (such as STO Academy links) are not prohibited, the preferred STObuilds template format went through considerable community effort to ensure completeness and clarity.

Build posts with major omissions (or any posts that do not otherwise meet standards) may be removed at moderator discretion and their authors asked to repost more completely or in the Megathread.

Please limit your self-promotion here as that is not the purpose of this subreddit. A list of additional rules can be found here.
